Art is Escapism - Middle and Senior Years Art Exhibition
The Art Exhibition was launched this week with a Virtual Opening recorded.
The theme of our Art Exhibition is Art is Escapism. This is due to the simple fact that Art, by its very nature, allows us to escape the realities of life and be surrounded by aesthetically pleasing imagery. It values the process undertaken by artists and the engagement of the audience in escaping for a while the grind of daily life. It is imperative we all stop, reflect, think and wonder from time to time and Art allows us to do just this.
This year, our Judge was Kylie Bourne (artist and councilor). She judged student work on the following criteria:
- Originality in use of visual language
- Skill in selected media/s and development of process
- Ability to convey intended meaning
